Every Wednesday we are linking up with WWW Wednesday. WWW Wednesday is hosted at Taking on a World of Words and asks 3 questions: What are you currently reading?, What did you recently finish reading? What do you think you'll read next? Our post is up a tiny bit late this week because it's my birthday and so I've been a bit distracted! But I've had a great birthday and my family have been amazing!

Ann:

Currently Reading:

I am currently reading Cress which I only just started but so far it is amazing. I am also reading A Tale of Two Cities which I am still really enjoying and I have recently started reading Grace and Style which is so funny.

Recently Finished:

I have recently finished Lady Midnight which not only did I really enjoy but also I read it faster than Clare did which is a miracle. I also recently finished These Vicious Masks and Scarlet both of which I loved.

Planning to Read Next:

Next I am planning on reading The Girl From Everywhere and Starflight and also I am hoping to read Passenger. All of these books I am very excited to read but I am most excited about Passenger and I should finish a few books this week as I have been of school ill because I have felt very dizzy and sick.

Clare:

Currently Reading:

I am currently about 100 pages into Passenger by Alexandra Bracken which I am enjoying. I am also currently on page 87 of The Warden which I am also enjoying, it's a very easy to read classic and although there is a bit of religion in there I don't find it to be too much which is nice!

Recently Finished:

The first book I finished this week was (somewhat reluctantly) Lady Midnight by Cassandra Clare. It's quite a long book but there is action and humour and characters that I loved so it went far too fast and now I am left waiting impatiently for the next book! I then read Grace and Style which was really easy to read, I flew through it in two sittings and loved it, it was full of her humour and some emotional things - I think I even liked it more than Grace's Guide! And then I finally read Stars Above which was predictably bitter-sweet. I loved being back in the world but as always I wanted more! I finished this in one sitting and really enjoyed it - especially the last story but I will always want more from these characters! Starflight was a lot of fun, it got off to a fairly slow start but once things really got going I was hooked and I adored the romance and the characters. I enjoyed The Girl From Everywhere although I am not massively clear on how the time travel elements worked. I am excited for the series to continue and to see what shenanigans the crew get into!

Planning to Read Next:

I have the exact same TBR as last week since I went slightly off my TBR this week. But I am still very excited about each of these books!

I completely agree about The Girl from Everywhere! It's fun, as long as you don't think too hard about the time travel which was confusing in places and I wasn't convinced by how certain characters' timelines were supposed to overlap... Oh well, it was still enjoyable!

I'm so glad Ann's enjoying Cress. I think it might be my favourite in The Lunar Chronicles series.

Like the sound of Passenger and love the cover...shallow I know! I'm intrigued by Dorothy Must Die and whether I would enjoy it.Thanks for visiting my WWW - http://bookboodle.co.uk/2016/03/16/www-wednesday-march-16th :)

Yeah, I wasn't fully convinced by some of Nix's worries about changing the past but then there were some consequences that weren't even considered. Dodgy time travel but a fun plot!Cress is definitely my favourite - possibly because Cress and Thorne are my favourite characters!

Oh I am a definite cover lust person as well so I will enjoy displaying Passenger! I am nervous about Dorothy Must Die because I've heard mixed things but it sounds like something I will enjoy so fingers crossed!
